ASSEMBLE TWO LEG PEDESTALS AS FOLLOWS:

1. Begin by opening hardware kits and sort hardware.

Attach leg panels #20 to leg posts #19 using screws
#29. (Note: Set of screw holes should be closer to the
bottom of the panel when positioned correctly.) Start
by installing the top screws in bottom leg panel using
the pre-drilled starter holes in post #19. Square edge
of leg panel up to edge of post #19 then, install the
bottom two screws #29. Butt top leg panel #20 up to
bottom leg panel and secure in place using screws
#29. (See Figure 1a) Do not tighten screws #29 until
instructed to do so.

Be sure the wood grain faces out away from posts
#19.

2. Attach inside leg panels #20 to leg posts #19 in same manner

as outside leg panels (See Figure 1b) Do not tighten screws
#29 until instructed to do so. Be sure the wood grain faces

out away from posts #19.

3. Attach metal leg facades #21 to pedestals. Attach leg facade

using two screws #30 and two plastic spacers #13. Locate leg
facade #21 by lining up the holes in the facade with the starter
holes in the leg post. See figure 1c.

4. Set up pedestals so that they face each other.

5. Attach a beam mate #15 to main beam #14 using

two bolts #22, two washers #50 and two dowel

connectors #36. See figure 3. Tighten bolts

tight. Repeat for other main beam #14.

6. Attach a beam assembly by
using four bolts #40, eight
washers #50, and four locknuts
#49 for each of the leg post #19.
Place one washer between the bolts
and beam and one between leg posts
and locknuts. Tighten these bolts
securely. (See figure 4)

7. Attach other beam #15 to the other side
the same way. (See figure 4)

Make sure the holes in the edge of the beams #15 are
on the top of the beams when attached.

8. Place the frame in its final location. Square
the base frame assembly by measuring
diagonally from the corner of one beam
to the opposite corner of the other beam.

(See Figure 5) Nudge the frame until both
diagonals are equal (within 1/16 inch). Go
back and tighten all loose screws, nuts
and bolts.

9. Place long slats #16 (50 inches long) and short slats #17 (36 inches long) across table from beam to beam as

shown in figure 6. Make sure to use the two shorter slats #17 on the ends of the beams and the two longer slats
#16 in the center as shown. Insert four dowel connectors #36 into the four holes in the side of each of the beams
#15 these holes should be closer to the top of the beams #4. (See Detail A). Attach the slats #16, and #17 to the
wooden beams #15 by placing screws #18 through the slats and into the dowel connectors #36 that are in the beams
#15 and tighten, make sure not to over tighten them. (See figure 4 and detail A))

HINT: When holes are lined up, the slot in the dowel connector should be vertical. After holes line up, insert screws
#18 into slats and down into dowel connectors. It is recommended to start the screws by hand and not forcing them
with power tools until you are sure threads are engaged properly. Do not tighten completely yet.

10. Square up the long slats #16 by measur-

ing diagonally, similar to the method
used earlier to square up base frame.
(See Figure 7) After squaring up slats,
tighten all the screws holding slats #16
and #17 to the beams.
